Where to Preorder the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 Graphics Cards

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-Series GPUs: Preorder Guide and Reviews

The highly anticipated Nvidia GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards are now available for preorder, starting January 30th at 6 AM PT. The top-tier RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 launch initially, with the mid-range RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti following in February. Be warned: stock is expected to be extremely limited, and bots are likely to snatch up many cards. Don't hesitate if you find one in stock! Pre-built PCs featuring the RTX 5090 might offer a more readily available (though pricier) alternative.

Pricing and Where to Preorder

The RTX 5090 ($1,999), RTX 5080 ($999), RTX 5070 Ti ($749), and RTX 5070 ($549) prices have been announced. Securing a card requires checking multiple retailers. Prioritize those with the widest selection and fastest shipping. Be aware that even with a card showing as "in stock," purchasing might be difficult due to high demand.

Retailer Breakdown

• Best Buy: Often a good option for Founder's Edition cards and generally fast shipping. Inventory varies by region.
• Newegg: Largest selection of AIB (third-party manufacturer) cards. Check for bundle deals if standalone cards are unavailable. Ensure you buy directly from Newegg, not a marketplace vendor.
• Nvidia Store: Founder's Edition cards are typically hard to find here. Consider registering for notifications.
• Amazon: Difficult to navigate; prioritize purchases directly from Amazon, avoiding marketplace sellers.
• Adorama & B&H Photo: Offer AIB cards and pre-built PCs, but shipping times may be longer.
• Micro Center: Best in-store option if you're nearby; expect lines.

RTX 5090 and 5080 Reviews

Reviews highlight improved AI features (DLSS 4) offering significant performance gains in supported games, but traditional gaming performance improvements are modest compared to the RTX 40-series. The value proposition depends on your existing hardware and willingness to utilize AI-enhanced features. Read the full RTX 5090 FE review here and the RTX 5080 FE review here.
